Testing CofeeScript with Mocha

Mocha is a JavaScript testing
library that is great. It used to just run CoffeeScript out of the box,
but recently they factored support out, probably to support all kinds of
languages that compile down to JavaScript in the future. The result is,
mocha test/foo.coffee no longer works.

To get mocha to run test written in CoffeeScript, run the following:

mocha test/foo.coffee --compliers coffee:coffee-script

Notes to my future self who keeps forgetting this.
